It is mandatory to conduct periodic maintenance of the power supplies in industrial equipment used in
power plant or other public services.
As power supply is the key devise in the system and their system will shut off when power supply failed and
will cause serious damage to our life. Normally ripple voltage and noise voltage of the power supply are
measured in the periodic check but those are not that straightforward.

Since the measuring object is “NOISE”, reading waveforms on the oscilloscope is very complicated and good
experience is needed. However digital ripple & noise meter can discriminate them and read them accurately.

Up to now……

It is very difficult to
read ripple voltage
from all mixed
waveform…
Oscilloscope is bulky
and not that user
friendly too…. We need easy way…

Noise? Ripple?

Switching power supply

Oscilloscope

Measurement by oscilloscope
The reading result is heavily relying to the operator.

Panel operation is not simple

Need additional differential probes to measure

 do
differently! RM-103 measures five voltages simply!
The output of switching power supply contains various kinds of waveforms and are all combined. With RM-
103, 5 different voltages can be measured easily.

*It is possible to judge if the capacitance of the electrolytic capacitor used inside of the switching power supply is in allowable range or not by measuring
D (Switching ripple) or B (Ripple) above.

From now on…

Do by whoever,
it is the same!

DM-100A　Differential probe
The DP-100 reduces common mode noise drastically then measures the signal between two measurement points accurately.
No power to the probe is required.
Common mode rejection ratio CMRR = 40dB (100MHz)
Maximum input voltage ± 200V DC or AC p-p
Attention ratio 1:1
Frequency bandwidth DC ~ 100MHz
Impedance 50 Ohm ( > 1MHz)
Input capacitance 0.01uF (When terminated by RM-103)

TRC-50F2　HF terminator
When measuring Ripple & noise with an oscilloscope, using this 50 ohm terminator (50 ohm resistor and DC cut capacitor
inclusive) is recommended for accurate measurement because it can resuce Noise Reflection due to impedance unbalance. The
TRC-50F2 conforms JEITA specification.
